PREFACE. 


This  Catalogue  records  the  Osteological  Specimens  in  the 
possession  of  the  University.  I  have  also  included  in  it  some 
Birds  and  Mammals  stuffed,  and  some  Fishes  and  Keptiles  in 
spirit,  because  I  think  that  it  may  frequently  be  advantageous 
to  students,  for  whom  this  collection  is  chiefly  designed,  to 
have  an  opportunity  of  comparing  the  external  characters  of 
any  groups  in  which  they  may  be  interested  with  the  osteo- 
logical. This  is  a  plan  which  has  been  followed  with  success 
in  several  Continental  Museums,  especially  in  that  of  the 
University  of  Pavia. 

As  the  value  of  such  a  collection  as  this  depends  in  a 
great  measure  on  the  accuracy  with  which  the  specimens  are 
named,  I  have  never  appended  a  specific  name  without  due 
authority  for  it,  and  have  preferred,  in  doubtful  cases,  to 
append  the  generic  name  alone.  Whenever  I  found  a  difii- 
culty  in  determining  a  specimen  from  descriptions,  I  took  it 
to  the  British  Museum,  for  comparison  with  a  series  of  great 
extent  and  of  different  ages.  I  take  this  opportunity  of 
thanking  Professor  Owen  and  Mr  Gerrard  for  their  great 
kindness  in  devoting  many  hours  of  their  valuable  time  to 
the  identification  of  the  specimens  sho^vn  to  them.

PBEFACE. 


A  few  remarks  on  the  history  of  the  Osteological  Col- 
lection -will  not  be  inappropriate. 

It  originated  in  the  private  Museum  of  Sir  Busick  Har- 
wood,  Professor  of  Anatomy  from  1785  to  181-i,  which  the 
University  purchased  on  his  death.  His  specimens  are  not 
numerous,  for  his  lectures  were  principally  physiological. 
They  are  marked  "  Harwood  collection." 

In  1830  the  University  purchased  a  considerable  part  of 
the  Museum  of  Joshua  Brookes,  Esq.  Of  this  the  osteolo- 
gical specimens  are  marked  "  Brookes  collection." 

In  1832  the  collections  were  removed  to  the  present 
buildings,  and  in  1836  the  University  purchased  the  whole 
of  the  valuable  collection  of  Dr  Macartney,  Professor  of  Ana- 
tomy in  Trinity  College,  Dublin.  His  specimens  are  mai'ked 
"  Macartney  collection." 

In  1853  I  purchased  in  Paris  of  M.  Dumoutier,  who  had 
accompanied  the  naturalists  MM.  Quoy  and  Gaimard  on 
board  the  French  frigate  Astrolabe,  which  was  absent  in  the 
Antarctic  Seas  on  a  scientific  expedition  from  1826 — 1829,  a 
number  of  specimens,  chiefly  of  the  Seal  tribe,  collected  by 
himself.    These  are  marked  [French  Exp.]. 

In  1856  I  had  the  pleasure  of  increasing  the  Collection 
by  adding  to  it  the  osteological  collection  of  Professor  Bell, 
F.R.S.,  etc.,  etc.,  by  which  every  order  of  Vertebrata  is  more 
adequately  represented,  and  especially  that  of  the  Reptiles, 
amongst  which  is  that  valuable  collection  he  had  formed  for 
the  illustration  of  his  work  on  the  "  Testudinata."  His  spe- 
cimens are  marked  "  Bell  collection." 

During  the  last  two  years  the  Collection  has  been  entirely 
rearranged,  the  specimens  already  forming  part  of  it  cleaned, 
and  in  many  cases  rearticulated,  numerous  additions  made, 
and  the  whole  disposed  in  such  a  manner  as  to  render  it  as

accessible  as  our  limited  space  will  allow,  for  purposes  of 
study.    This  it  is  hoped  will  be  further  facilitated  by  the 
publication  of  the  Catalogue,  which  will  also  servo  as  a  guide 
to  persons  desirous  of  adding  to  the  collection  by  their  own 
exertions  or  by  purchase.    It  is  worthy  of  remark,  that  as 
long  as  the  very  limited  collection  was  deposited  in  the  small 
dark  room  opposite  Queens'  College,  where  it  remained  till 
1832,  there  was  little  inducement  for  either  the  Professor  or 
any  one  else  to  add  to  it,  as  the  specimens  could  not  be  ex- 
hibited.   From  the  time  of  its  removal  to  the  present  build- 
ing until  now  it  has  steadily  increased  in  the  way  above 
recorded,  and  by  private  donations.    Now,  however,  a  time 
has  come  when  the  old  state  of  things  is  renewed,  upon  a 
larger  scale  it  is  true,  and  in  a  way  less  likely  to  attract 
notice,  but  still  equally  pernicious  to  the  interests  of  Science. 
The  space  has  become  so  inadequate  that  no  further  additions 
can  be  made,  nor  can  several  large  skeletons,  at  present  stowed 
in  boxes,  be  exhibited  at  all.    The  University,  for  instance, 
possesses  at  the  present  time  a  Whale,  purchased  by  sub- 
scription in  1850,  an  Eland,  a  Zebu  Bull,  a  Eed  Deer, 
and  a  large  species  of  Delphinus,  not  to  mention  a  vast 
number  of  separate  bones  and  smaller  skeletons,  which 
cannot  be  displayed  even  in  fragments.     Nor,  supposing 
us  willing  to  forego  the  display  of  these,  and  the  acqui- 
sition of  desiderata  to  fill  up  the  lacunce  in  the  collec- 
tion (for  many  orders,  especially  the  Fish,  are  very  inade- 
quately represented),  should  we  be  blind  to  the  fact  that  the 
Museum  is  now  so  crowded  that  it  is  difficult  to  have  access 
to  the  skeletons;  and  that  those  persons  who  proceed  to  their 
degree  in  the  Natural  Sciences  Tripos  are  thereby  dis- 
couraged, and  acquire  the  barely  requisite  amount  of  know- 
ledge to  enable  them  to  satisfy  the  Examiners  at  second- 
hand from  books,  instead  of  from  the  actual  specimens.

PREFACE. 


I  cannot  let  this  opportunity  pass  without  tendering  my 
thanks  to  Dr  Drosier  of  Caius  College,  for  his  great  kindness 
in  assisting  me  in  my  lectures,  when  prevented  by  ill  health 
from  delivering  them  myself,  and  for  the  very  beautiful 
skeletons  of  Birds,  articulated  by  himself  with  great  skill, 
with  which  he  has  enriched  the  Museum. 

The  Catalogue  has  been  made,  under  my  direction,  by 
my  son,  who  has  also  arranged  the  Collection,  and  articulated 
most  of  the  recent  additions. 

It  is  hoped  that  the  Catalogue  of  the  Physiological 
Series  of  Specimens  will  shortly  follow.

This  skull  has  a  marked  development  of  the  cranial  cavity, 
also  a  marked  post-orbital  process  on  the  frontal  bones  as  well  as 
an  anterior  on  the  superior  maxillary  bones.  The  two  halves  of 
the  frontal  bone  unite  to  foi-m  an  entering  angle  between  the 
nasals,  which  is  contrary  to  what  is  seen  in  the  other  specimens 
in  this  Museum,  in  which  the  united  nasal  bones  form  an  acute 
angle  which  is  received  between  the  produced  parts  of  the  frontal 
bone.  The  inferior  orbital  process  is  formed  entirely  on  the 
malar  bone.  The  palate  bones  terminate  behind  by  a  round  edge. 
This  remarkable  skull  suits  Cystophora  more  nearly  than  any 
6ther  known  genus,  except  in  the  number  of  its  molar  teeth  and 
the  great  width  of  its  cranial  cavity.  Its  dental  formula  is  the

Purchased  by  the  University  of  M.  Dumoutier. 

1163.  Skeleton  of  a  female  Bosjesman. 

Presented  by  W.  W.  Fisher,  M.D. 

The  three  following  skulls  of  Negroes  were  jjresented  by 
George  Budd,  M.D.  Caius  College.  He  describes  them  as  follows : 
"They  were  taken  from  subjects  who  died,  while  under  my  care, 
in  the  Seamen's  Hospital,  Dreadnought.  My  case  book  furnishes 
me  with  the  followhig  particulars  respecting  them." 

1164.  "(-4)  Bohin,  age  21;  height,  5  feet,  8  inches;  hair  veiy  short, 
woolly,  and  frizzled;  scarcely  any  beard  or  whisker;  forehead  not 
reclining;  nose  less  bi*oad  and  lips  less  thick  than  is  usual  in 
negroes;  front  teeth  filed  ;  figure  generally  well  formed,  muscular; 
thighs  very  muscular,  calves  propoi-tionally  much  less  so,  feet 
large  and  flat. 

"  He  was  a  native  of  Rio  Pongo,  which  is,  I  believe,  between 
Sierra  Leone  and  the  Gambia,  and  which  he  had  quitted  for  the 
first  time  in  making  this  voyage  to  England.  He  spoke  English 
very  impei'fectly,  and  died  of  cholera  a  few  days  after  his  admission 
into  the  Dreadnought,  so  that  I  had  no  opportunity  of  making  any 
observations  on  his  character.  His  physiognomy,  with  the  excep- 
tion of  his  short  frizzled  hair  and  very  black  skin,  did  not  differ 
much  from  that  of  European  races.  You  will  see  that  the  skull 
does  not  exhibit  in  a  marked  degree  the  peculiarities  of  the  negro 
formation.  I  have  met  with  one  or  two  other  natives  of  the  same 
part  of  Africa,  whose  physiognomies  did  not  materially  differ  from 
that  of  Kobin.  Dr  Pritchard  mentions,  on  the  authority  of 
Adanson  and  other  travellers,  the  resemblance  in  features  which 
natives  of  this  pai't  of  Africa  bear  to  Europeans,  and  their  general 
superiority  over  negroes  of  the  Guinea  coast.  In  the  dissection 
of  Robin,  I  noticed  a  peculiarity  in  the  flit,  which  was  of  a  deep 
orange  color ;  this  color  must  have  been  natural,  as  thei-e  was  no 
jaundice  or  yellowness  of  the  conjunctiva.  I  have  since  met  with 
another  instance,  also  in  an  African,  in  which  the  fat  was  of  this 
color."

nose  broad,  lips  thick,  liair  short  and  woolly,  eyes  large  and  ani- 
mated, teeth  filed.  He  died  of  phthisis,  and  was  for  a  long  time 
xmder  my  observation.  He  was  one  of  the  crew  of  a  Portuguese 
slaver,  which  was  captured  by  the  Bon  eta  on  the  Western  coast 
of  Africa,  where  he  was  employed  to  enslave  his  countrymen. 
He  was  very  intelligent,  spoke  Portuguese  flueutly,  and  had  learnt 
a  little  English,  and  altogether  was  one  of  the  finest  specimens  of 
the  negro  I  have  ever  seen.  His  expression  was  singularly  rich 
and  animated,  in  a  degree  which  is  never  equalled  in  any  other 
negro  race.  He  was  a  native  of  Congo.  I  learnt  from  Martins 
that  the  custom  of  filing  the  teeth,  which  is  common  to  many 
African  tribes,  is  continued  from  a  sui:)erstition  that  they  ax'e  pro- 
tected by  it  from  slavery." 

N.B.    The  great  ala  of  the  sphenoid  does  not  meet  the 
parietal  bone. 

1166.  "  (C)  This  skull  was  preserved  in  consequence  of  its  presenting 
the  negro  characteristics  of  feature  in  a  striking  degree.  These  are 
still  indicated  by  the  form  of  the  skull,  which  contrasts  strongly 
with  (A)  and  even  with  (!>).  I  have  mislaid  the  j3articulars  of  his 
history,  but  if  I  recollect  aright,  he  was  a  native  of  Guinea."

NOTE  ON  THE  MASK  OE  THE  FACE  OF 
CHARLES  XII. 


This  cast  confirms  so  remarkably  the  story  of  the  assassination  of 
Charles,  that  it  is  worth  while  comparing  the  testimonies  of  the  various 
authors  who  have  related  his  death. 

Voltaire,  in  his  Histoire  de  Charles  XII.  (Works  by  Beuchot,  Vol. 
XXIV.  p.  851  sq.)  says,  in  the  first  place,  that  on  the  11th  December, 
1718,  the  King,  who  was  besieging  Frederickshall,  went  down  to  the 
trenches,  "  vers  les  neuf  heures  du  soil*."  After  noticing  the  story  of 
conversations  held  by  him  with  Megret,  an  engineer,  which  he  declares 
to  be  false,  he  resumes  with  "Voici  ce  que  je  sais  de  veritable  sur  cet 
evenement.  Le  roi  etait  expose  presque  a  demi  corps  a  une  batterie 
de  canon  pointee  vis-a-vis  Tangle  ou  il  etait :  il  n'y  avait  alors  aupres 
de  sa  pcrsonne  que  deux  Fran9ais ;  I'un  etait  M.  Siquier,  son  aide-de- 
camp, homme  de  tete  et  d'execution,  qui  s'etait  mis  a  son  service  en 
Turquie,  et  qui  etait  particuliercment  attache  au  prince  de  Hesse ;  I'autre 
etait  cet  ingenieur.  Le  canon  tirait  sur  eux  a  cartouches ;  mais  le  roi, 
qui  se  decouvrait  davantage,  etait  le  plus  expose.  A  quelques  pas

nature!,  la  main  sur  la  garde  de  son  epee,  et  e'tait  encore  dans  cet 
attitude.  A  ce  spectacle,  Megret,  homme  singulier  et  indifferent,  ne  dit 
autre  chose,  sinon:  'VoHa  la  piece  finie,  allons  souper.'  Siquier  court 
sur-le- champ  avertir  le  comte  Schwcrin.  lis  resolurent  ensemble  de 
de'rober  la  connaissance  de  cette  mort  aux  soldats,  jusqu'a  ce  que  le 
prince  de  Hesse  en  put  etre  informe." 

To  which  narrative  Beuchot  appends  a  note :  "  Le  proccs- verbal  de 
I'autopsie  cadaverique,  faite  en  174G,  etablit  que  le  coup  qui  avait 
traverse'  les  deux  tempes  n'y  avait  laisse'  qu'  une  blessure  longue  de  sept 
lignes,  et  large  de  deux.  Une  halle  d'une  demi-livre  eut  laisse  bien 
d'autres  traces."  We  may  add  to  this  that  the  cast  proves  the  hole  to 
have  been  that  made  by  an  ordinary  pistol-bullet,  measuring  ^  ths  of  an 
inch  m  length,  by  fa  ths  in  breadth,  1  inch  above  the  eyebrow,  and  2 
inches  from  the  middle  of  the  forehead,  and  that  neither  the  eyes  nor 
any  other  part  of  the  face  bears  the  slightest  marks  of  violence. 

A  little  further  on  in  his  history  (p.  857)  Voltaire  alludes  to  the  story 
of  the  assassination,  and  says  that  a  report  got  abroad  in  Germany  that 
Siquier  had  killed  the  King.  "  Ce  brave  officier  fut  long-temps  deses- 
pe're  de  cette  calomnie :  un  jour,  en  m'en  parlant,  il  me  dit  ccs  propves 
paroles:  'J'aurais  pu  tuer  le  roi  de  Puede;  mais  tel  etait  mon  respect 
pour  ce  heros,  que  si  je  I'avais  voulu,  je  n'aurais  pas  ose.'" 

He  then  proceeds  to  defend  Siquier  in  a  passage  added  in  1748 — his 
history  having  been  first  published  in  1731.    "Je  sais  bien  que  Siquier 
lui-meme  avait  donne  lieu  a  cette  fatale  accusation  qu'une  partie  de  la 
Suede  croit  encore;  il  m'avoua  lui-meme  qu'a  Stockholm,  dans  une 
fievre  chaude,  il  s'etait  eerie  qu'il  avait  tue  le  roi  de  Suede;  que  meme 
il  avait  dans  son  acces  ouvert  la  fenetre,  et  demande  publiquement 
pardon  de  ce  parricide.    Lorsque  dans  sa  guerison  il  eut  appris  ce  qu'il 
avait  dit  dans  sa  maladie,  il  fut  sur  le  point  de  mourir  de  douleur.  Je 
n'ai  point  voulu  reveler  cette  anecdote  pendant  sa  vie.    Jc  le  vis  quel- 
que  temps  avant  sa  mort,  et  je  peux  assurer  que  loin  d'avoir  tue 
Charles  XII,  il  se  serait  fait  tuer  pour  lui  mille  fois.    S'il  avait  e'te  cou- 
pable  d'un  tel  crime,  ce  ne  pouvait  etre  que  pour  scrvir  quelque  puis- 
sance qui  Ten  aurait  sans  doute  bien  re'compense' ;  il  est  mort  tres 
pauvre  en  France,  et  meme  il  y  a  eu  besoin  du  sccours  de  ses  amis.  Si 
ces  raisons  ne  suffisent  pas,  que  Ton  considere  que  la  balle  qui  frappa 
Charles  XII  ne  pouvait  entrer  dans  un  pistolet,  et  que  Siquier  n'aurait 
pu  faire  ce  coup  de'testable  qu'avec  un  pistolet  cache  sous  son  habit." 
To  which  is  appended  a  note  by  the  Kehl  editors,  MM.  Condorcet  and 
Decroix:  "Beaucoup  de  gens  pre'tendent  encore  que  Charles^XII.  fut  la 
victime  de  la  haine  qu'il  avait  inspire'e  a  ses  sujets.    Cette  opinion  n'est

pas  meme  destituee  de  vraisemblancc.  M.  de  Voltaire  ne  I'ignorait  pas ; 
mais  comme  il  ne  pouvait  verifier  Ics  pctites  circonstances  sur  lesquellcs 
cette  opinion  s'appuie,  il  a  jtrefere  la  passer  sous  silence.  On  garde 
a  Stockholm  le  cliapeau  de  Charles  XII ;  et  la  petitesse  du  trou  dont 
il  est  perce  est  une  des  raisons  de  ceiix  qui  veulent  croire  qu'il  perit  par 
un  assassinat." 

The  appearance  of  the  cast  seems  to  settle  the  question  in  favour  of 
the  story  that  Charles  was  murdered :  a  story  which  is  rendered  all  the 
more  probable  by  the  fact  of  there  being  then  two  parties  in  the  kingdom 
respecting  the  succession :  the  one,  favoured  by  himself,  his  minister 
Gortz,  and  the  Court  of  Russia,  for  the  young  Duke  of  Holstein,  son  of 
his  elder  sister  Sophia :  the  other  for  his  younger  sister  Ulrica  Elconora, 
and  her  husband  Prince  Frederick  of  Hesse  Cassel.  Her  chance  of 
success,  her  rival  being  so  poAvcrfuUy  seconded,  depended  on  the  death 
of  Charles,  while  the  Duke  of  Holstein  was  still  a  boy,  and  unable  to  act 
with  decision  in  a  sudden  emergency.  In  fact,  she  was  elected  Queen 
with  little  opposition  on  the  news  of  the  King's  death  reaching 
Stockholm. 

Geyer,  himself  a  Swede,  describes  the  death  of  Charles  thus  (French 
translation  of  his  History  of  Sweden,  p.  500):  "Ce  fut  durant  les  travaux 
de  ce  siege  que  Charles  fut  assassine  par  les  siens  d'un  coup  de  pis- 
tolet,  le  11  decembre,  a  dis  heures  du  soir."
